Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.
that story has been floating around for about 3 years that I knew of, and the truth is it is still a shame.

When my son was living in Brooklyn Heights, we went over to the warehouse, looked at the Vettes, took pictures and thought about how we could rescue these poor orphans.
I wonder if he still knows they are there.

CryCryCry Cars like that should be driven and enjoyed, not sequestered in some parking ramp...rotting! AngryAngryAngry
 
Of one thing I am certain, as stated, they are worth more in their deteriorating condition than they would be if Peter Max painted them!
 
Upon further review, I noticed the article was dated 5-May, 2005. Are they still there? Question
